Summary of Chapter 2022
This year is full of self-maintenance. I finally took care of my teeth and got two of ’em patched. Finally enrolled in health insurance, self-assurance for a brighter future. My ankles also got fixed, this one is unintentional tho’. Try my first medical check-up, thank god nothing concerning. Overall, this year I finally finished up all my pending health to-dos.
This year I publish 18 new stories. That means 1.5 stories per month, not bad. Some of the stories I’m most proud of include:
Sadly, there are also some down-low moments. I experienced the most stressful workload I’ve ever felt throughout my career so far. I got catfished on a dating app. A lot of stress pile-up, and one time I felt very depressed. After several self-healing and asking for help, I felt a lil’ bit better in a couple of weeks.
Fortunately, there are also some great moments. Komoidoumenoi stand-up special was finally held. Watching a special show for the first time makes me wanna watch other live shows from other comics as well. My eyes are on Abdur’s recently. Even though my workload in the office was many and heavy, it gives me so much sense of self-accomplishment and happiness. Being nostalgic with Yugioh by playing Yugioh Master Duel. I got 8 decks currently. Reactivated my Twitter and it slowly became one of my venting channels.
New year is less than 12 hours when I’m writing this story. So… what do I feel at the end of this year? 🤔 Let’s see. I still feel lost at the moment. As in I don’t know “what’s next”. I always know what I want so far. I know I wanna be a software engineer as early as junior high. I know what university I need to pursue, and what startup I want to apply to, know what I wanna learn as I work. Now, at this point, I feel like I’ve already (somewhat) accomplished ’em all (most of it).
I’ve tried many things to fill this “purpose void” of mine. I start to consider the next step for my career and learn about the software architect profession after I realized I love designing techs. Dare myself to start using dating apps, and just see how it goes — nothin’ serious at the moment. Grab a “new and exciting” opportunity *wish me luck. There are some things that I would like to try next year. Some considerations are tattoos and “bi-weekly adventure”.
Let’s wish next year would be better and tech winter soon to be subsided.
Here welcoming 2023
